I Will post some more soon

Very nice to see Jazz, will you leave them intact in the comics or do you intend to cut them out?

Hi Johnboy

Well if the comic is in a bad shape I will cut them out, but some of these are almost mint from the 60s those I will keep for them self so I know where the adds are. Those with out adds I like I will give to the kids

It's great these have survived

Hello Dr Jazz,

Thanks for posting those mag adverts, very nice in general to see all this sort of ephemera, but especially nice for me was the Dinky Toys Rolls-Royce, great stuff, any more coming our way?

Ghosty.

Yes ghosty lots, just need to sort them out

Here are some more


These adds are found in my childhood old Comics like these:


There are less and less of these to be found I just bought 1000 used ones from 1960 to 2002 so I will find much more adds.

Very nice Jazz, over here you still see the Britains tractors, dumpers and spreaders for sale from time to time.

Looking though the pile of comics I found this one

Fantastic...do any forum members remember having anything like this in the U.K. ? I don't recall any, if there were and you have some, lets see some here and lets use this thread for models in comics etc.

The 'EAGLE' used to carry some model based adverts, especially for 'MERIT' kits and toys.

Don't have any "Matchbox" on this laptop, but here is a Corgi advert from a British comic.

GHOSTHUNTER.

The corgi #261 will always remind me of my childhood, having been given one as a gift from my Grandad. Wonderful memories. Sadly both my Grandad and the DB5 are no longer with me.
